Pentagon Preps National Guard for 'Domestic Calm' Amidst Global Chaos
This domestic readiness surge comes as the current administration simultaneously champions record-breaking military aid packages for international conflicts. The same government that struggles with housing its own veterans and addressing domestic poverty somehow finds endless billions for foreign wars. One might wonder if these 'domestic threats' become more pressing when public dissent against
foreign policy escalates. (Funny how that works, isn't it?) While the US pours billions into conflicts abroad – for example, with Rep. Steny Hoyer, a top recipient of aid from pro-Israel groups (per OpenSecrets.org), consistently voting for such packages – the 'threat' of its own citizens protesting poverty or endless war warrants a military response. Perhaps the definition of 'national security'
now only applies to maintaining a very specific, quiet, pro-war order at home.
